Chapter 69 It’s Him!
Just when County Magistrate Wu was about to grab the teapot, Shen Wan snatched it away with a smile.
"Let me do it." She walked forward with the teapot and brewed a cup for him first. "This cup of tea is for you, sir."
When County Magistrate Wu heard this, his expression changed slightly.
This tea has been spiked with something, how could he dare to drink it?
"No, no, no, I'm just a small official. How can I be worthy of serving tea to you, young lady?" County Magistrate Wu rolled his eyes and declined with a smile. "Young lady, you're really embarrassing me."
"You must drink this tea!" Shen Wan smiled cunningly, her eyes sparkling. "You are an old friend of my father-in-law, so naturally you are also my friend."
"Since you didn't attend the wedding of the Crown Prince and I, this cup of wedding wine will be your last straw!"
"If you don't drink, it's obvious that you look down on us!"
Wedding banquet?
Is there any supplement for this thing?
Besides, they didn’t even invite him to their wedding, so why should he drink?
County Magistrate Wu was speechless.
"Lord Wu really does despise us." Xie Mubai smiled calmly, with a hint of self-mockery in his cold voice.
County Magistrate Wu gritted his teeth and took the cup of tea reluctantly.
He made up his mind and drank it all in one gulp.
His people are outside, and as long as they take the antidote in time, there shouldn't be any big problems.
Just as she was about to leave, Shen Wan promptly brewed a second cup: "This cup will be considered as the baby's full moon wine."
This ugly girl hasn't even gotten pregnant yet, but they've already prepared the full moon party?
Magistrate Wu didn't want to drink.
But looking at Xie Mubai's deep gaze, he had to drink the tea.
He just didn't believe that this ugly woman could come up with a third reason!
"This is the child's first birthday wine." Shen Wan filled it up for him again and said with a smile, "To be honest, the master and I hit it off right away. If it weren't for our awkward identities, I would have wanted the child to recognize you as his godfather."
"Master Wu, you won't refuse to give me this face, will you?"
When County Magistrate Wu heard this, he almost exploded with anger.
Judging from the way this ugly woman is acting, she might even have to drink her child's wedding wine.
Not to mention him, even Wang Qi felt that Shen Wan had gone too far.
"Don't drink any more!" He cleared his throat and advised, "If you drink any more, Lord Wu won't have enough stomach to eat."
Shen Wan smiled sweetly: "Master Wu will definitely drink it!"
"If he doesn't drink, it clearly means he doesn't love my child!"
Why should he love her child?
County Magistrate Wu was so furious that he almost overturned the table.
But now he only has one step left, he can't give up.
He gritted his teeth and drank the cup.
In order to prevent the ugly woman from making tea for him again, County Magistrate Wu hid the teacup behind him.
"I'm really sorry, I drank too much and have to go out for a while." Although he was angry, he still had a gentle smile on his face.
No, he must go quickly!
If I don't leave now, I'm afraid I'll lose my life here.
"That won't do!" Seeing him trying to escape, Shen Wan couldn't let him do what he wanted. She immediately blocked his way with a smile, "Sir, I have something to ask of you. I hope you can agree to it."
At this time, County Magistrate Wu had begun to feel a dull pain in his stomach.
He was sweating profusely and said incoherently: "Okay, okay, okay... I promise you, please let me go out first!"
"Sir, why don't you ask what it is?" Shen Wan deliberately delayed time.
Don’t you like poisoning people? Then just let him have a taste of the poison.
Seeing that she was making too much noise, Wang Qi felt a little embarrassed: "Young Madam, stop it!"
Magistrate Wu was his classmate, and this ugly girl was making things difficult for him, clearly showing no respect for him.
It's strange, she used to be naughty, but she is a very sensible girl.
But what happened to her today?
"I'm not making a fuss!" Shen Wan tilted her head and smiled like an angel. "Master Wu, do you think I'm being unreasonable?"
Magistrate Wu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. How could he dare to say no? "No... no..."
"Isn't that enough?" Shen Wan smiled as she changed the clean cup and filled it with tea. "I see that you are very talented, and I want my child to be your disciple."
"As long as you drink this cup of apprenticeship wine, you will be my son's teacher from now on."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Wu was so angry that he almost strangled her to death.
This woman is clearly looking for trouble!
"Young Madam, stop joking!" He barely suppressed the anger in his heart, but his voice couldn't help but rise, "My talent is not enough in front of the prince and Wang Qilang."
"How dare I show off my skills in front of them?"
Listening to the hoarse voice, Shen Wan couldn't help but frowned.
how so?
Judging from his hands, he looks exactly like that person.
But the voice was clearly identical to that of another person.
Perhaps, they were the same person?
Sniffing the strange fragrance in the air, Shen Wan shuddered suddenly.
No way?
They are actually the same person?
In a hurry, she subconsciously looked at Xie Mubai.
"My wife, how could you possibly be joking?" Xie Mubai smiled calmly, his deep voice intimidating without even getting angry. "Is it you who don't want to take me as your disciple, or are you simply too afraid to drink the tea you ordered to be prepared?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression suddenly changed.
"Young Master, do you mean... there's something wrong with this tea?" Wang Qi looked at him with a pale face and shock.
No, that's absolutely impossible!
County Magistrate Wu has always been a very honest and loyal person. How could he do such a thing?
If he didn't have absolute trust, he wouldn't have written the letter to borrow troops.
Xie Mubai smiled coldly and looked up at County Magistrate Wu: "Mr. Lin, how are you?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
"I... I don't understand what you are saying..." County Magistrate Wu covered his lower abdomen, his body shaking violently.
Xie Mubai put away the smile on his face, his eyes sharp and terrifying: "Yes, it is indeed inappropriate to call you Mr. Lin, the Good Man, because the real Mr. Lin is dead!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand." County Magistrate Wu's face turned pale, but he remained calm.
Xie Mubai glanced at him, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "You know best whether I am talking nonsense or not."
"I've always been puzzled. Why would Mr. Lin, who is so aloof and proud by nature and clearly hates Zhou the most, suddenly have an affair with her?"
"If the person who had an affair with Zhou Shi was not the real Lin Xiucai, then everything seems to be explained."
The real Mr. Lin would not keep the letter of withdrawal of engagement, because it would be a disgrace to him.
Only fake people would use this to prove their identity.
When County Magistrate Wu heard this, his expression changed.
He was not afraid, but looked at him provocatively: "Do you have any evidence?"
"Without evidence, you are slandering the imperial officials!"
Xie Mubai didn't say anything, but just winked at Chen Wan.
Shen Wan understood.
She rushed forward and directly took off the human skin mask on County Magistrate Wu's face.
Under the mask, there was an old but rosy face!
"It's you?" Hu Dahai looked at him and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
This is clearly the old farmer who took them to see the kind-hearted Mr. Lin that day!
It turns out that everything was just a trap, and I was like a fish without eyes, foolishly taking the bait.
"Where is Magistrate Wu?"
Wang Qi came to his senses.
He grabbed the farmer's collar like a madman and questioned him through gritted teeth.
"Anyone who dares to stand in my way must die!" The farmer's face turned pale and he sneered strangely. "That's right, I am the fake Lin Da Shanren and the fake county magistrate here."
"What a pity! No matter how smart you are, it's useless because it's too late now!"
Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground viciously.
At the signal, the half-worn wooden door was kicked open.
Outside the door, stood a row of well-equipped archers!
Shen Wan’s eyes tightened.
She waved her hand and a large bag of lime powder fell from the sky, and the white powder sprinkled directly on their faces.
The archers dropped their swords in pain, covered their eyes and screamed in agony.
Seeing this, Hu Dahai tied them up effortlessly.
"How could this happen?" The farmer couldn't believe his eyes. "No, it's impossible. When did you realize there was a problem?"
I thought I had done everything perfectly, but I ended up losing miserably while chatting and laughing.
Xie Mubai sneered, "First of all, County Magistrate Wu is only about thirty years old, and you clearly look a bit old in your gait."
"Secondly, County Magistrate Wu is a scholar, so how could he have hands as rough as yours?"
"The most important thing is that your scent betrays you."
"This incense is a tribute from Persia. Whether it's the old farmer at the village head or Magistrate Wu, it's impossible for them to obtain it given their status."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a reward from your master.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the old farmer couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"That's right, you win." He looked at Xie Mubai with a mocking expression, "But my master will never let you go. You will definitely die a more miserable death than your father and brother!"
"People who are too smart will not live long!"
Before he finished speaking, the old farmer suddenly took out a sharp knife from his waist.
